What is BS EN 16662-1 about?
BS EN 16662-1 provides specifications for safety, quality, and performance requirements for
supplementary grip devices, commonly called “SGDs”, for type–approved tyres according to the current legislation, intended to be fitted on tyres on vehicles in categories M1, N1, O1, O2 and relevant subcategories (off-road vehicles).
The requirements contained in BS EN 16662-1 apply to all SGDs, regardless of the material/technology used to build them in case there are available standards for the specific technology of the device, they are intended to be used in conjunction with BS EN 16662-1.
In case no standard is available for the specific technology, BS EN 16662-1 applies.
